Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia, is a vibrant metropolis known for its diverse culture and modern skyline. Here's essential travel information to help you plan your visit:

Voltage and Electrical Outlets

In Malaysia, the power supply is 220-240V at 50Hz, and the outlets use Type G plugs (the ones with three rectangular prongs). If you’re bringing electronics from a country with different plugs, don’t forget a power adapter!

If you happen to forget one, no worries—many hotels have spare adapters, and you can easily find them at airports, convenience stores, or electronics shops.

Local Time Zone

Current: MYT — Malaysia Time

Current Offset: UTC/GMT +8 hours

Local Currency

The official currency is the Malaysian Ringgit (MYR). Exchange rates fluctuate, so it's advisable to check the current rate before your trip.

In late May, Kuala Lumpur experiences hot and humid conditions with frequent rainfall. Average temperatures range from 26°C (78°F) at night to 33°C (91°F) during the day.
